I bet they are torn at voting time!
I tell my liberal coworkers that I vote guns first!

“Liberal” has lost its meaning so it’s not surprising these people are a confused anomaly. In the historical sense, liberal thought in academia, and political and economic liberalism simply meant laissez-faire absence of government intrusion. Today’s American right wing are the ones rooted in political liberalism. 

The “progressive” left doesn’t know what to think or call itself now, because they are the anti-truth party.  They believe that there aren’t two genders, but 50+. They believe that Islamic sharia law is compatible with free market capitalism and liberal democracy. They believe that the west was not founded on biblical principles. They believe that an unborn child at 8.5 months is not a human being.

And apparently some of them believe that modern  American leftism is compatible with the right to keep and bear arms.

I'm one of the people to whom you're referring and that's why I don't voice my opinions in the forum. I'm here to discuss firearms and not politics in general. Like most people, I have a ranking system of what's important to me, and firearms are not number one, so, yes, voting is conflicted, but I make do. There are probably more of us than you realize, but it's difficult to contribute when you feel unwelcome, so we stay quiet.

Thank you for posting, One of my work friends is a man about my age. He used to hunt upland birds, owns a couple of shotguns and a 22 rifle.
He is totally an all-in progressive, and a rabid Trump hater.
When he and I discuss guns or the 2nd Amendment, he will totally deny that there is a push on the progressive left to ban guns. Then he will say something silly like, why do you need a semi-auto with a high capacity magazine anyway?
Just that statement alone makes me not want to trust my Constitutional rights to anyone who thinks that way.
The thought of holding a CHP, carrying in public, or using a firearm to protect ones self or family is totally alien to him.
I tell him he is a Sheeple, and I'm sure he things I'm a Wacko.
I tell him figuring me out is so simple, I vote guns first.
I do appreciate your posting because it probably is not easy to read some of the statements on gun sites, and then feel comfortable speaking up.

Greg
